Having Fun in Washington, DC!
While at National History Day, the Vermont students, teachers and parents had the chance to visit the sites, monuments and museums in Washington, DC. That's a lot of walking around!
Students from Proctor Jr.-Sr. High School, Burlington High School, Mount Holly School and Wells Village School met with Senator Leahy on the steps of the Capitol.
Many of the groups went to the National Zoo to see the pandas and other amazing animals.
We had fun watching the Nationals beat the Cardinals!
